What does GASLIT mean in Scrabble?
adjective
historical
Lit or illuminated by gas lamps, or characteristic of the era when gas lighting was in common use.
A gaslit street, room, or theater was lit by burning gas rather than by electricity, producing the soft, flickering light familiar from nineteenth-century cities before electric bulbs took over. The word is also used more broadly to describe the look or atmosphere of that period, as in a gaslit Victorian novel, even when no actual gas lamps are involved. This adjective describes lighting by gas, distinct from the newer verb to gaslight, meaning to manipulate someone into doubting their own perception, a sense that itself took its name from a stage play in which a husband dims the gaslights to confuse his wife.
How GASLIT is used
Describes lighting or period atmosphere; distinct from the modern verb meaning to manipulate someone's sense of reality.
